LOAN CAN BRIN6JOY TO THE SEASON! Pot luck supper in St, Andrew's Presbyterian .Church was held by the Girls' Club last W. ednesday, December 2, Sitting at a long table, centred by flickering red tapers, each lady M turn read a short blessing, which was at her place. When all the tempting dish- es were brought to the table, cal- orie-counting was soon forgotten and everyone enjoyed the supper to the utmost. A short business meeting was presided over by president Mrs. Condon Sutcliffe. All members favoured catering to a banquet in January. Used clothing left over from the bazaar will be sent to the Salm- tion Army, All members are asked to make candy for the Sunday SY DOROTHY swami The train pulled into the sta- tion at St, Catharines. I was on my way home from Niagara Falls and sitting with my feet up on the opposite seat when my eyes spied a sales bill flapping on a pole, "Auction Sale" it announc- ed in big, bold, red letter. This was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. I charged down the aisle of the train, lugging my weekend bag, and alighted on that station platform just as the conductor gave the signal for the train to proceed. CNR train crews across Cana- da are getting used to the unex- pected decisions this Vagabond makes. When the conductor saw my jump he merely shrugged his shoulders and climbed aboard the slowly moving train. Then I stood in a fall drizzle, wondering which way to turn next. St. Catharines is a pretty city, one hundred miles or less from Toronto, that mushroomed during the war years, growing a- way from the older and more set- tled streets in the central part of town, I knew nothing More about it than what I could see from a train window, but I had a tongue in my head and a, few coins Still left in my purse after my delight- ful weekend at the Falls. I realiz- ed I had time only to grab a bite to eat before the sale was slated to commence, Next to trains, taxis, hi my es-. timation, are God's gift to human- ity, When I get these sudden brain waves and maroon myself in strange places, a taxi driver can always find me accommoda- tion in attractive quarters and, in this case the whereabouts of an auction sale. We polled up in front o fa run- down, late Victorian period-type house whose gingerbread trim- ming was hanging in broken dis- array from its eaves, Paint peeled from the graying clapboard and in the overgrown garden weeds flourished. "The old gent was 97 when. he died but as independent as a pig on ice. Nobody could do nothire for him. He just liked mein' a- lone", the driver said, as I in- structed him to come back for me at 4 p.m. There, bared for a critical pub- lic to comment, were the living habits of old, shall I call him, Jeremiah Jones. The bedding was clean but had seen better days. China was broken and cracked, and pots and pans were blackened by the coal fire he struggled with in the shadow of thousands of modern appliances in the homes that surrounded him. The furni- ture to be auctioned off to the highest bidder was in deplorable state of dilapidation. I had a moment of heartache for old Jeremiah. My imagination pictured the better days he had known in the gay nineties, with his family, all deceased before him, rollicking around the then new marble-topped table and jum- ping up and down on the horse- hair upholstered sofa. It was the sofa that caught my eye. For years it had obviously been stored in the chicken coop. Its springs hung from its innards and the once expensive upholster- ing (a sign of affluence in Vic- toria's day) was a bleached tan. Feathers and filth clung to the beautiful handcarving on the back of the settee. I watched the women of the neighbourhood pawing over the quilts and tapping the saucers for cracks. I heard them bid fantas- tic prices for the dirty pots and pans, but when it came to the sofa, my weak little (and almost ashamed) bid of "25c" won the prize for me. Everyone at the sale looked at me as though I was an escapee from some asylum. "What on earth could anyone want with such a relic?" you could almost hear them silently asking themselves. The taxi driver was of the same opinion when he arrived. I was standing over a nice gentleman who had volunteered to help af- ter he saw me struggling with a borrowed sorew driver, trying to remove the back from the sofa. I had a plan for Jeremiah's old glory hut you'd never guess it from the expression on the faces of the crew in the CNR express office when the taxi driver and I lugged the old wreck into their domain. Today it is the conversation piece of my abode. Scraped, fumi- gated, cutdown, painted with white and gold and in its new dress of white upholstery SWUM it is a perfect headboard for a vagabond's bed. Bless Jeremiah for being so stubborn and insisting on living alone among his treasurers trtd. I caught up with this sale. I am sure he woudn't approve of my having painted a "real walnut carving" but I guess now, the only ones missing its old splendour are, "them chickens"?
